USS Essex (CVS-9) 1967 MED CRUISE T-Shirt

In June 1967, the Six-Day War transformed the Middle East while USS Essex patrolled the Mediterranean. The Sixth Fleet stood by on high alert as Egyptian, Israeli, Syrian, and Jordanian forces clashed in one of the most decisive wars of the twentieth century. Essex's mission was unchanged: track Soviet submarines, maintain the deterrent, keep the Sixth Fleet ready to act. In the waters between Europe and Africa, with the world watching a war on the other side of the sea, the crew of CVS-9 did their jobs with quiet professionalism and the steady nerve that Cold War naval service demanded.
